The bulk of my cases involve entertainment industry disputes. A big slice of those cases relate to the negotiation and enforcement of agreements regarding television and motion picture production and distribution (option agreements, writing agreements, distribution agreements and employment agreements).

Over the years I have developed a special expertise litigating cases involving the following additional issues: copyright infringement, defamation, merchandising rights, improper business practices (breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, interference with existing contract and business relationships), social media, IFTA arbitrations, trade secret misappropriation and personality rights (appropriation of name or image).
